hey guys i'm new to this hd thing ( just got the myHD card tonight). watched alittle Miracles and now watching Jay looks great. I've got a terk 55 about 25' I live in racine by the zoo. Can't get a signal for 33 fox or 3 cbs? Is this me or them? any help and or advise is greatly appreciated. thanx

It's not you, its your location.  Fox 33 is very low power on a very small tower.  Few people in Milwaukee can get it.  You can get you Fox fix on ch. 31 (analog 32) fox from Chicago.  According to posts in AVS forum CBS 3 out of Chicago is at low power because of some interference concerns with cable boxes.  You probably can get CBS 46 out of Milwaukee.

thanks  
but i'm not getting those stations either.
does cbs out of milwaukeee broadcast 24/7 or just primetime?
this is going to make me mad if I can't get the final four, thats one of the reasons I made the jump.

CBS 46 out of Milwaukee is on 24/7 but at low power.  It is receivable at your location but your antenna may be the problem.  Terk antenna's have a spotty reputation for reception.  Others farther from where you are can get 46 with outdoor antennas.  Can you move the antenna around or are you stuck with where it is?  If you can watch signal strength while shifting antenna you might be able to tweak it to receive 46.
